Forum:People/Personage Names

Forums: Index > Watercooler > People/Personage Names

I am in the process of pulling data out of Stellar Reaches for the various NPCs to start to flesh out Category:People... and I noted that most( 75%+?) appear to be listed as FirstName LastName. Should we consider changes needed to get the wiki show those pages as LastName, FirstName.

I just noticed that Category:Authors has a similar issue.

The FirstName LastName articles are usually the older person articles. Hans recommended the LastName, FirstName style and added several articles with that style. Wikipedia uses the former for another reference. I have no preference as to which should be used, but you are correct all the articles should be updated to a common style.

Well; the way I see it no preference as to which should be used leaves it open (maybe a little too wide) for me to "start" something. Seeing how I have structured the document for LastName,FirstName, that is how things will get posted; see the good Dr. Theodore Krenstein as an example.
